Trouble adding Tableau dashboard to Articulate Rise site

Hi all, 

I'm having trouble adding a Tableau dashboard (fill map of the US, with interactive tooltip) to my Articulate Rise site. I have the Tableau embedded code, but it doesn't translate into the image when added under the "Code Snippet" block. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi,

    You cannot use a  "Code Snippet" block for this purpose.

    Use a Multimedia / Embed block instead.

  • Thanks, but when I use the Multimedia / Embed block iframe/url it displays just a link to my dashboard or it says "public.tableau.com refused to connect." 

    Do you know to make it display the dashboard and not simply a link?

  • Hi Savannah! Try using the iframe code below. Simply paste the URL for the Tableau dashboard where it says URL in the code:

    <iframe src="URL"></iframe>

    Let me know how that goes! 

  • Hi Alyssa, 

    Thanks for your help! I did exactly that, but received an error message:  

  • Hi Savannah! It could be that tableau content is restricted from being embedded in a frame. If you would like us to try it from our side, you can send us the direct link to the Tableau dashboard. 

    If you'd prefer to keep the link private, you can open a case here.

  • Hi Savannah! Thanks for sending the link! Unfortunately, it looks like Tableau content cannot be embedded in a frame in Rise 360. I also tried it in Storyline 360 with hopes that you could embed it as a Storyline block, but the dashboard didn't appear there either. It seems to be a restriction with Tableau's embedding policy. I'm sorry it didn't work! 

    Instead of embedding it, could you add an image of the dashboard with the dashboard link below it?

    Hi, has there been any update on being able to link tableau graphs to Articulate?

  • Hi Haritha (and Savannah)!

    I was able to locate this Knowledgebase article from Tableau's website, which discusses how to embed Tableau content in iFrame:

    Following the suggested steps to add showVizHome=no and embed=true to the URL, the above sample Tableau URL (Savannah's URL) would have the following iFrame Embed code:

    <iframe src="https://public.tableau.com/views/HouseholdswithFirearmsintheUS2016/Dashboard1?:showVizHome=no&:embed=true"
    width="645" height="955"></iframe> 

    The above iFrame code now displays the Tableau content correctly in an Embed block in Rise, as shown in the screenshot below:

    I hope this helps! Let me know if this works or if you have additional questions! Have a lovely day!

      Do you know if there is anyway to change the size? It is cutting off half the dashboard when I embed?

        Hi Danielle! You can play around with the width and height in the iFrame code. I marked the screenshot of the code that Gren shared.
